Pakistan’s National Security Committee (NSC) authorised a robust military response to India’s airstrikes on May 6-7, 2025, targeting civilian areas in Punjab and Azad Jammu and Kashmir, killing innocents and damaging infrastructure. The NSC condemned the “unprovoked” attacks, urging global accountability.

On May 7, 2025, Pakistan’s NSC issued a statement authorising the armed forces to counter India’s coordinated missile, air, and drone strikes on Sialkot, Shakargarh, Muridke, Bahawalpur, Kotli, and Muzaffarabad, as reported by Dawn. The attacks, targeting civilian areas including mosques and the Neelum-Jhelum Hydropower Project, killed innocent men, women, and children, per Geo News. The NSC labelled the strikes “unprovoked, cowardly, and unlawful,” invoking Pakistan’s right to self-defence under Article 51 of the UN Charter.

Pakistan’s Air Force downed five Indian jets (three Rafales, one MiG-29, one SU-30) and a Heron drone, while destroying a brigade headquarters, per Reuters. The NSC criticised India for endangering Gulf commercial flights and violating humanitarian norms, noting the attacks falsely targeted “imaginary terrorist camps” linked to the April 22 Pahalgam incident, which killed 26, per Al Jazeera.

India’s strikes followed its unproven claim of Pakistan’s role in the Pahalgam attack, prompting retaliatory measures like suspending the Indus Waters Treaty. In rejecting the allegations, Pakistan offered a neutral probe, which India ignored. International media visits to alleged sites are planned for May 7, per The News International. The NSC’s call for global intervention, echoed on X, highlights fears of regional escalation, with Iran and the UN urging de-escalation, per Bloomberg.

Pakistan’s NSC, on May 7, 2025, authorised a decisive military response to India’s “unprovoked” airstrikes, which killed civilians and targeted infrastructure. Downing five Indian jets and condemning India’s false claims, Pakistan urges global action. As tensions soar post-Pahalgam, the region faces a perilous crossroads.
